A distinguished Grade II listed village home thoughtfully extended and beautifully presented, set within the sought-after and picturesque village of Harlaxton

Description

A distinguished Grade II listed village home of considerable charm and scale, thoughtfully extended and beautifully presented, set within the sought-after and picturesque village of Harlaxton.

Believed to date from circa 1800, this elegant period home has been sensitively enhanced by the current owners, successfully marrying historic character with modern-day comfort. The result is a well-balanced and highly practical house, offering generous, light-filled accommodation with a natural flow ideally suited to both family living and entertaining.

The interiors are presented in a calm, neutral palette, allowing the architectural detail to take centre stage. High ceilings, exposed beams and original fireplaces combine to create a welcoming and characterful atmosphere throughout the house.

The accommodation comprises five bedrooms and two bathrooms, together with two principal reception rooms and an impressive kitchen/breakfast room at the heart of the home. Practical support space includes a utility room, ground floor cloakroom and a useful cellar providing additional storage. Externally, the property benefits from a delightful south-west facing garden and off-road parking.

Within the home
The kitchen/breakfast room is a standout feature of the house. Enjoying a triple aspect and bathed in natural light, the space opens via French doors onto the south-facing terrace. Bespoke cabinetry, topped with quartz work surfaces, incorporates a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including two ovens and warming drawer, induction hob, fridge freezer, wine fridge, dishwasher, hot tap and concealed bin storage. A substantial central island provides informal seating, while there is ample space for a dining table and seating area, creating a true family hub.

The principal reception rooms comprise a spacious drawing room and a separate sitting room, both enjoying excellent proportions and centred around open fireplaces. These rooms lend themselves equally well to relaxed everyday living and more formal entertaining.

Bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors and is equally well considered. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while four further double bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower enclosure.

Outside, the property occupies a charming position within this highly regarded conservation village. The gardens have been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, incorporating a well-proportioned paved terrace with integrated lighting, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, together with lawned areas. Off-road parking is provided.
